Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWAbby Zackin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Lower Manhattan who specializes in depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, attachment disorder, and relationships. She sees adults across the lifespan, but she especially enjoys working with college students and young adults in their 20s and 30s.
Abby’s treatment approach is both goal-oriented and insight-oriented.

She uses this same approach when working with individuals with a history of trauma by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, like meditation and breathing exercises, to help them develop healthier coping strategies while also exploring the underlying issue. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Recontextualization (EMDR), which is an invaluable tool for processing traumatic experiences and attachment issues.
